Negreanu Sent to the Rail

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

Daniel Negreanu managed to get most of his money in preflop, covering his opponent's all in. Negreanu held {K-}{K-} against his opponent's {Q-}{Q-}. The flop and turn brought the two remaining queens, knocking Negreanu down to but a few chips. He was sent to the rail shortly afterward.

Haxton Heading in Wrong Direction

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

A player on the cutoff opened for 450 and Isaac Haxton flatted from the button. The small blind folded but the player in the big blind cut out a raise to 2,375 and slid it into the middle. The cutoff snap-folded but Haxton fell deep into the tank. After thinking for a couple minutes, Haxton landed on a fold.

Haxton is down to 10,100.

Devilfish's Ladies

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante
David Ulliott
David Ulliott

A player in late position three-bet to 1,325 and Dave "Devilfish" Ulliott made the call. The original raiser also called in early position. The flop came {9-Clubs}{J-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}. The early position player checked and the three-bettor fired out 2,200. Ulliott made the call and the early position player folded. Going heads up to the turn, the {5-Hearts} fell. Ulliott's opponent checked to him and Ulliott announced "Same.", throwing out a bet of 2,200.

His opponent dropped his stack all in and Devilfish instantly called.

Devilfish: {Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts}
Opponent: {K-Hearts}{K-Clubs}

The river came up blank and Ulliott's set of queens was enough to scoop the pot and bust one player from the table.

Hall Misses Value?

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

Galen Hall opened to 450 from early position and found one caller in the big blind.

The flop came {3-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{10-Hearts} and the big blind checked, prompting a 450 c-bet from Hall. His opponent called.

Both players checked down on the {5-Hearts} turn and once again on the {8-Clubs} river.

Hall: {A-}{Q-}
Opponent: {A-}{J-}

Hall scooped the pot with a better ace-high and another player at the table said to Hall, "Nice value bet...donk."

"I know, I know," Hall replied.

Hall is currently sitting with 19,500.

Maria Ho
Maria Ho

On a {J-Spades}{6-Spades}{J-Clubs} board, Maria Ho checked to her opponent who led out for 1,700. Maria Ho check-raised all in and was snap called by her opponent.

Ho: {K-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}
Opponent: {A-Hearts}{A-Clubs}

The turn and river fell {9-Diamonds} and {8-Clubs} and Ho was sent home, the victim of a kings-versus-aces cooler.

Hinkle Halted by Alaei

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

With a raise to 700, Blair Hinkle made the call from the hi-jack as Daniel Alaei smooth-called from the small blind to see a {9-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{8-Spades} flop fall.

The preflop raiser fired out 300 and Hinkle made the call before Alaei check-raised to 2,100. The original aggressor passed, but Hinkle made the call as the {K-Spades} landed on the turn.

Alaei pushed out a 3,600-chip bet with Hinkle calling as the {2-Spades} completed the board on the river. Taking his allotted time, Alaei moved all in for 12,225, and after two minutes of consideration, Hinkle made the call for roughly his last 10,000.

Alaei tabled his {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds} for a full house to knock Hinkle out while simultaneously moving to 37,000 in chips.
